Chapter 1225
: A promise is a promise, and a fight is a fight!
After beating Rokufengi Gendo for half a day, Cui Ming still wasn't satisfied. Looking at the guy lying limp on the ground, too weak to even scream, he bent down, grabbed Rokufengi's crumpled collar, and lifted him up easily like a bag of unwanted trash. He then turned and walked towards the cubicle next to the conference room—after that, Cui Ming, carrying that idiot Rokufengi Gendo, simply closed the door and beat him.
With a loud bang, the cubicle door was slammed shut, instantly cutting off all movement inside. The group of people outside stared at each other, not daring to breathe, and even exchanging glances was done cautiously.

Occasionally, a few muffled thuds could be heard from inside the cubicle, interspersed with Sextant's faint, almost inaudible wail. Apart from that, there was no other sound. But the quieter it was, the more panicked the people outside became. They stood frozen in place, at a loss, even holding their breath very low, for fear of disturbing the evil spirit inside.
After an unknown amount of time, the door to the cubicle creaked open again, and Cui Ming walked out. His face remained expressionless, but the moment the people around him saw him, they were all filled with a strong sense of foreboding and instinctively took a half step back, their eyes filled with fear.
In particular, a strange smell wafted out through the crack in the door, entering everyone's noses—it smelled like fertilizer that had been fermenting for several days, both foul and pungent, making people involuntarily wrinkle their brows and noses almost into a knot, but no one dared to say a word, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Cui Ming, having just stepped out of the cubicle, frowned and shook his hands repeatedly in disgust, as if they were covered in something utterly filthy. His tone was filled with undisguised revulsion: "Disgusting."
Clearly, the process of trapping and beating the dog earlier hadn't completely satisfied him; instead, Sextant's pathetic state only fueled his disgust. In truth, Cui Ming had originally intended to kill this arrogant fool outright, but something must have happened between the world's consciousness and the Great God Noah, because in the end, he spared his life—that idiot Sextant had actually survived.
After shaking his hand, Cui Ming raised his eyes and slowly swept his gaze over the people standing around him. Seeing their timid and cowardly appearance, not daring to raise their heads, he asked indifferently, "What's wrong? What are you all doing standing here?"
Upon being asked this question, everyone panicked instantly, shaking their heads in unison. Their voices trembled with respect and a hint of nervousness: "Nothing! Nothing! Mr. Cui Ming, we've been waiting for you right here!"
No one dared to mention the pungent stench from earlier, nor did anyone dare to ask what had happened in the cubicle. Everyone was thinking it was better to avoid trouble, fearing that they might get into trouble by talking too much and end up like Sextant.
Cui Ming glanced at them, asked no more questions, nodded slightly, and turned to walk towards the exit of NERV headquarters without stopping, his steps crisp and swift.
As he passed through the crowd, he deliberately avoided Ibuki Maya's direction, not even glancing at her—after all, Ibuki Maya was still working for NERV, and his outburst here today had already attracted enough attention; he couldn't cause her any more trouble because of himself, or let her be implicated by those with ulterior motives.
However, Cui Ming knew very well that the truth would eventually come out. He had caused such a scene at NERV today, and Sextant had been beaten up so badly by him. It wouldn't be long before the truth about Ibuki Maya's relationship with him, as well as all her information, would be dug up and made public.
He needed to prepare in advance and act immediately to protect Ibuki Maya, ensuring she wasn't harmed in the slightest because of him. Cui Ming always had his principles and wouldn't exploit women unless they were his enemies. Ibuki Maya was currently his devoted fan, genuinely interested in him, and Cui Ming would definitely protect her and never let her suffer any injustice.
Reaching the door, Cui Ming stopped, glanced back at the crowd still standing there, too afraid to move, and casually said, "Here's a piece of advice for you: don't go in." With that, he and Lindis and Miyuki, who were waiting at the door, left NERV headquarters without looking back.
The NERV members who remained behind looked at each other, speechless—what did "don't go in" mean? These words only piqued their curiosity more! But then, remembering Choi Myung's aura just now, they couldn't help but shudder. Hearing this, they were genuinely frightened. Even with their strong curiosity, no one dared to take a step closer to the cubicle.
Not long after, the cleaning lady responsible for cleaning NERV headquarters arrived on time, pushing her cleaning cart and humming a little tune. Seeing everyone gathered at the door of the cubicle, she asked in confusion, "What are you all doing standing here? Is no one inside?"
No one dared to warn the old lady; they could only watch helplessly as she pushed open the door to the cubicle and went inside.
The next second, a deafening roar erupted from the cubicle, echoing throughout the corridor: "You damned commander!!!! How the hell are you making such a mess?! How are we supposed to clean this up?!"
The woman's shout instantly piqued everyone's curiosity. Their previous fear was instantly overshadowed by curiosity, and one by one they cautiously approached the cubicle door, peeking inside—
Good heavens!!!
The cubicle was a complete mess, with filth everywhere on the floor and walls. The pungent smell of fertilizer was even stronger, making people feel nauseous. It was unbearable to look at, and the place was completely unusable!
Everyone then realized that Cui Ming was a man of his word. He had said he would beat Sextant until it emptied its stomach, and he really did. However, getting Sextant to completely vomit and defecate must have taken a lot of effort from Cui Ming, otherwise the cubicle wouldn't have been such a mess.
Realizing what was happening, the crowd frantically shouted, "Call an ambulance!!!! The commander is still inside!"
The filth in the cubicle still emitted a pungent stench, and the cleaning lady's angry shouts still echoed in the corridor. In the center of the cubicle, Rokufun Gigendo was already on his deathbed, a pitiful sight that was unbearable to look at.
He lay sprawled amidst the filth, his body covered in wounds. His once meticulously styled hair was now a tangled mess plastered to his face, which was bruised and swollen. Blood and filth still clung to the corners of his mouth. His eyes were unfocused, unable to concentrate. He was barely breathing, his chest rising and falling weakly, as if he were about to die at any moment.
His limbs were as limp as if they had no bones; he didn't even have the strength to move a finger. He could only lie sprawled on the ground, letting out weak, intermittent gasps from his throat. He couldn't even utter a wail. He was completely lifeless, a far cry from the confident and arrogant NERV commander he had been moments before. (End of Chapter)
